The Chicago Bears looked just as lifeless as last year during an 0-2 start to the Ben Johnson era, but he and Caleb Williams have righted the ship to such a stunning degree that they have won nine of their last 10 games in a wide-open NFC.
Chicago's Black Friday win against the Philadelphia Eagles, which came on the road against a very good team despite Williams putting together perhaps his worst passing game of the season, should confirm that this team is absolutely capable of going on a playoff run this campaign.
Williams and the Bears are not only at the top of their division right now, but Johnson's record means that this Chicago squad can't be ruled out in the still open race for the No.
